Demo on How to Reduce Your Search ResultsSee how you can use limits provided by a database to reduce your search results to a manageable number.
Databases are divided by subject. Please use the subject pull down menu and choose the subject area that is relevant to the topic you have chosen for your paper. For instance, if you research on the impact of pesticides on soil or environment, you may want to choose databases both under "General/Interdisciplinary" and "Science, Mathematics, and Health Sciences".
